Robust unknown input observer for state and fault estimation in discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno systems

Abstract

In this paper, a robust unknown input observer (UIO) for the joint state and fault estimation in discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) systems is presented. The proposed robust UIO, by applying the H∞ framework, leads to a less restrictive design procedure with respect to recent results found in the literature. The resulting design procedure aims at achieving a prescribed attenuation level with respect to the exogenous disturbances, while obtaining at the same time the convergence of the observer with a desired bound on the decay rate. An extension to the case of unmeasurable premise variables is also provided. Since the design conditions reduce to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), that can be solved efficiently using the available software, an evident advantage of the proposed approach is its simplicity. The final part of the paper presents an academic example and a real application to a multi-tank system, which exhibit clearly the performance and effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Robust fault estimation based on zonotopic Kalman filter for discrete‐time descriptor systems

“…A suitable fault estimation with robust performance against system uncertainties is very useful for implementing an active fault‐tolerant control system . Based on the robust control techniques, robust fault estimations are implemented in a variety of systems as, eg, the works of Zhang et al, Wang et al, and Rotondo et al where the effects of uncertainties are bounded, and as a result, fault estimation results are obtained with the minimum estimation error.…”

A New Observer Design for Fuzzy Bilinear Systems with Unknown Inputs

“…Following the idea of [31], we shall transform the system (1) and (45) into the one without unknown input d(t). It follows from (1) and (45) that:…”

“…The output feedback control and observer design with the unmeasurable premise variables was first considered in [29]. Since then, various methods of control and observer design have been proposed [22,23,[30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Actuator fault diagnosis of singular delayed LPV systems with inexact measured parameters via PI unknown input observer

“…Fault isolation can be carried out based on a suitable bank of UIOs, each decoupled from a subset of faults. The use of these observers for fault estimation has just recently been proposed [4,5]. Fault estimation (reconstruction) is important for adjusting fault tolerant actions in the system also providing a straightforward approach for fault diagnosis that could avoid the fault detection and isolation steps.…”
